What delightful thread drift! I remember a (genuine) Steamship company which plied its trade in German-speaking Switzerland, on Lake Lucerne (IIRC), which rejoiced in the name:

Vierwäldstätterseedampfschifffahrtaktiengesellschaft

For a made up version from my old German master (who himself rejoiced in the name of Egbert Rudolphus Tigg) try this one, for an assassin who specialises in killing the aunts of African tribal Chiefs:

Hottenttotenpotentatentantentötenattentäter.

And for O-D ......

Were you there that night?
...clearly if I'm talking about Mr & Mrs Cook it can't have been 1992 - he wasn't in power before '97. But I might have been there more than once .......... ...... or maybe not ....
